Has anyone ever used this for their hair loss or for skin care?

Just curious what people thought about it.

Could it help counter some of our hair loss?

Could it be bad for Lymies?

The active ingredient in Saw Palmetto, which also helps Prostate enlargement, is Beta Sitosterol, a plant sterol. Google it...

Supposedly helps block DHT...not as good as Minoxidil (topical treatment for hair loss).

Peace, Love and Wellness,
